Megan Thee Stallion Seen Laid Up With Torrey Craig

As mentioned, the dating rumors come from a short clip featuring Megan and Torrey Craig. On Tuesday, The Shade Room reshared the footage on Instagram, which shows the rapper and professional athlete lying side-by-side, shoulder-to-shoulder in a bed. She’s wearing a white and red top, while the Bulls player appeared shirtless.

Megan had one finger in her mouth as the video’s voiceover stated, “This is the most likely challenge couple’s edition.”Then the voiceover started asking “know your boo” type of questions.

They both pointed to Megan, who laughed, for the “most likely to get arrested” question. The alleged couple did the same when asked, “Who’s the better kisser?”

However, they pointed to each other for the question, “Who said I love you first.” Megan self-admitted that she “starts the most arguments,” and after a few seconds, Craig agreed with her by pointing his thumb her way!

Additionally, Megan and Torrey Craig agreed that she “needs the most attention” and is “the better cook.” But when it comes to being the “most spoiled,” they both voted for Craig. The athlete also credited the Houston Hottie for having “better style,” and they both agreed she takes “longer to get ready.”

The Shade Room’s repost cuts off after “Whose mother-in-law likes them more,” leaving fans with questions abouthow far this apparent romance has gone! From the answers to the questions, it appears Megan and Torrey Craig have BEEN kicking it. However, how long that’s been the case and how their connection even began remains unclear.

Watch their cute attempt at the ‘couple’s challenge edition’ below.

So, Who Is Torrey?

As mentioned, Megan Thee Stallion’s alleged boo, Torrey Craig, plays for Chicago’s NBA team. He is #13 on the team and plays power and small forward. The 6’5 athlete is 33 years old. He has played for several NBA teams since 2017, including the Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers, and Phoenix Suns, per his ESPN profile.

In 2022, he started a nonprofit called the Torrey Craig Foundation, which emphasizes youth empowerment and community development.

He is a father to one son, Braylon, from a previous relationship with a woman named Jakira, per The Athletic. Braylon was born in June 2014, following Craig’s senior year in college, and is now 10 years old!

What Happened Between Megan & Pardi?

The last romantic relationship the Hotties saw their star partake in was with Pardi (Pardison Fontaine). Then, in February 2023, Pardi seemed to hint that he’d gotten the “boot,” signifying the end of their relationship a few months after their second anniversary. The split seemed amicable.

By May, Megan had been spotted with Belgian soccer player Romelu Lukaku and supporting him at a game in Milan. And bySeptember, Pardi popped out with dancehall artist Jada Kingdom.

However, things took a turn in November after Thee Stallion released ‘Cobra,’ in which she spoke of being betrayed by a nameless lover. Fans immediately took issue with Pardi.

A few weeks later, he dropped a diss track against her ex. In four minutes, he accused the Houston Hottie of habitually telling “half-truths,” having a “disgusting” soul, and making a “clean” breakup “messy.” He also revealed his foiled plans to propose to her.

“Girl, I treated you like a queen. Whole time, Im a clown in your circus. I tried to pull you up out the mud. Here you are, tryna drown me on purpose. You know the devil was a serpent. For some streams and views, girl, I hope it was worth it. This aint for Megan Thee Stallion. This is for Megan Thee Person,” he rapped on ‘Thee Person.’

Ultimately, in two December interviews with Angela Yee’s ‘Lip Service’ and ‘The Breakfast Club,’ Pardi admitted to having inappropriate verbal contact with other women in the relationship and said their breakup was due to a “laundry list of reasons.”

Meanwhile, that same month, Thee Stallion blasted Pardi for putting out a diss track against her when she never name-dropped him ‘Cobra.’
